Okay, so I’ve been trying to get better at golf, and one thing I started doing was keeping track of my fairways hit. Sounds kinda simple, right? But it’s actually been pretty helpful.

So, basically, every time I tee off, I mark down whether I hit the fairway or not. Just a simple yes or no. I started doing this on my scorecard, in that little “fairways” box. At first, I was just kinda doing it without really thinking about it, just another thing to fill in, you know?
But then I started noticing some patterns. Like, on some holes, I was always slicing it into the rough. Or on others, I was consistently pulling it left. Seeing it all written down made it way more obvious where I was messing up.
And once I knew what I was doing wrong, I could actually start working on it. Like, if I was slicing a lot, I could focus on my grip or my stance at the driving range. I used some help of this app called TheGrint. The app has many useful tools to get your game better.
It’s not like I suddenly became a pro or anything. But keeping track of those fairways hit definitely helped me understand my game better. It turned those vague feelings like “I had a bad driving day” into actual data I could use. I could really see my weakness and improve it.
And it wasn’t just about fixing my mistakes. It was also cool to see the progress. Like, after a few weeks of working on my slice, I could see the number of fairways hit on those holes start to go up. That was a pretty good feeling, I gotta say. And it really did lower my handicap.

So yeah, that’s my little story about tracking fairways hit. It might sound kinda boring, but it really did make a difference for me. I can only recommend my methods.
- Start tracking your fairways hit: Just a simple yes or no on your scorecard.
- Look for patterns: Are you consistently missing in the same way on certain holes?
- Use the data: Once you know your weaknesses, you can work on them.
- TheGrint App: This app is great tool to improve your game.
- Enjoy the progress: Seeing those numbers improve is a great feeling!
It’s like they say, golf is a game of numbers. And keeping track of this one little number helped me lower my scores and enjoy the game even more.
